Samuel Adams has lost its spot atop the list of the top U.S. craft breweries. In its place: Yuengling.

Boston Beer Co., which makes Samuel Adams beers, actually shipped 20% more barrels than in 2013. What made it slip a notch on the Brewers Association's list of top brewers was a change in the trade group's definition of what amounts to a craft brewery.
